[Intro]

To Be or not to be?

That really is the question

[Verse]

You can read every book


Study every sound

But not one single lesson

Can help you off the ground

You can study the oceans

Watch how living things fly


But no amount of knowing


Can ever explain why

Creation’s not in a hurry

That's why the butterfly


Takes it slow

To Be....

Is all you need to know

[Bridge]

You don’t need school

You don’t need college

You don’t need a degree

You just need courage


You cannot know wings


You have to let them grow

[Chorus]

To be...


Is all you need to know

Despite the world insisting

In something you're not

To be...


Is all you need to know

You were never meant to fit inside


Their little black box

To be...


Is all you need to know

The sky stands above


The waters below

To be


Is all you need to know

[Interlude]

[Verse]

You can study every guru


Interrogate their thinking

But not one single anecdote

Can stop your eyes from blinking

You can memorise the melody


To every song and tune


But no amount of listening


Can explain the phases of the moon

You can attempt to solve

Every impossible calculation


But numbers cannot speak

They cannot assist formation

To Be....

Is all you need to know

[Bridge]

You don’t need school

You don’t need college

You don’t need a degree

You just need courage


You cannot know wings


You have to let them grow

To be...
To be...

Is all you need to know

[Chorus]

To be...


Is all you need to know

Despite the world insisting

In something you're not

To be...


Is all you need to know

You were never meant to fit inside


Their little black box

To be...


Is all you need to know

The sky stands above


The waters below

To be


Is all you need to know

[Outro]

Uh huh

To be

Is all you need to know.
